Below are Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Majid Nawaaz, two brave and devout Muslims who put their lives on the line every day, advocating for a comprehensive, modern Islamic Reformation.
Again, guy, people trying to ingratiate themselves to white folks never impresses me. I honestly don't care if Islam is "reformed". Our problem is not that their belief in a sky fairy is any better or worse than your belief in a sky fairy. A couple of Muslims living in nice comfortable surroundings being "Brave" doesn't impress me.
We have a problem in the Middle East because back in the 19th century, white people from Europe went in and tried to colonize the place. And after the Christians slaughtered each other by the millions in the World Wars (Because you know, Christians are soooooo much more civilized) these folks were able to give Europeans the boot. And frankly, that should have been the end of the matter.
Instead, the US took up where the Europeans left off and we wonder why we are now getting attacked.
Oh, it must be because their religion is fucked up. It can't possibly be a reaction to the violence we inflict on them and have for decades.
Now, I'm an old man. I'm old enough to remember how we all told ourselves horror stories about how the Vietnamese would do terrible things to try to kill our servicemen. They weren't Muslims. They were just people who didn't want foreigners on their land.
We are sticking our noses where they don''t belong. Period. Don't get upset when get popped in the nose for doing so.
